The passage of the e%cclesi-
astic2l bill in the lower house of the
Prussian diet completes, SO far as
Prussia proper is concerned, the vic
tory of Prince Rismarck's policy of the
Vatican alliance. His declaration that
.'peaoe with the church is desirable,
both for internal and external rea-
sons" is a complete reversal of his
policy of the days Of the Falk laws.
The result will add to his reputation us
a statesman who lives up to the spirit

Diaz is regarded AS a man OF charac-
Ter, ability and progressive ideas, and
IL probably the best president the Mex
lean republic has ever had; but our sis
ter republic makes IA mistake in chang
ing her constitution in order to give
kim a second term. 1t is unrepublican
to act on the theory that any man Is
necessary TO the state. That idea is
the essence of the monarchial principle.
1t would have been better to keep q
stable constitution, even at the expense
Of having a less popular chief magis-
